CANFORD CLIFFS – 4yo Bay Colt
Henrik – Zahoo (Archbishop)
A nice scopey colt out of one of the best two horses I’ve bred for the league this year. I’m not sure quite where my milers are really as I haven’t done much work on them but I expect them to be competitive, and while he may not live up to his real life persona, I expect a bold show in whatever races I enter him for – with the Lockinge his main target.

CAPTAIN DUNNE – 3yo Chestnut Colt
Historic City – Pike Plane (Pike Bishop)
A likeable sprinter who loves York’s flying five furlongs but is very dependent on ground conditions and loves anything on the quick side of good. He’ll be entered up in Group races and should play a hand in those but he is most effective at York, so will be interesting to see what he does elsewhere beforehand.

CASUAL CONQUEST – 3yo Chestnut Colt
Rainbow High – Precious Comedy (Comedy Act)
A lovely strong galloping sort by Rainbow High, out of a 14f Gp1 winner. He loves to get his toe in so will relish any ease in the going and will be my number one for the St Leger at Doncaster later in the year, just need to ask the gods for some rain beforehand – a smart horse and will come from off the pace with a sustained burst all the way to the line.

CHARLES DICKENS – 2yo Bay Colt
Ancient Flight – Serapia (Scorpion)
A very well bred animal which I didn’t think would amount to much so retired him from my game at the end of his two-year-old campaign. A big mistake that proved as after he trialled poorly on unsuitable conditions he came into his own on good ground over 7f-1M in trials and I fully expect him to be pitching it at Group level this season.

EARLY MARCH – 3yo Bay Colt
Kingsgate Native – Event Planner (The Duke)
A promising colt with very similar ability to Captain Dunne above but is more versatile in regards track and ground. He performs best on good ground and goes well at Sandown, Newmarket and Ascot and ought to be in the shake-up in the major Group sprints this season. I think this one’s aim will be the Temple Stakes at Sandown, he’ll be tough to beat there I reckon.

EASTERN ARIA – 5yo Bay Mare
Singspiel – Mofazahaat (Manifest)
A very smart mare who I gamepooled after an impressive game career. Out of two dominant game 12f horses, she inherited the stamina of her sire and turned into a dominant force over 13f-14f. Unfortunately I overwrote the file like an idiot and I’ve never been able to get it back, so I’ve been unable to breed from her which is a major shame. She will be playing her hand in all the top 13f-14f races this season for older horses and will win a few, a very smart mare.

EXIT STAGE LEFT – 3yo Black Filly
Darsi – Exciting Comedian (Eastern Prospect)
A very likeable sort which looks like being my main Oaks contender. I have a few better than her but she trials the best at Epsom so I thought I’d throw her in, as the Oaks is a race I really enjoy winning. She likes juice in the ground and should run well in the Oaks, but we’ll see if she does anything elsewhere in due course.

GRIPSHOLM MISSILE – 4yo Bay Colt
Gripsholm Prince – Guided Missile (Historic City)
Came from one of my random experiments when breeding a 20F horse with a 5F horse and has bred this absolute freak, but he is very temperamental. I have seen him in trials charge off into the lead, and stay there 8L clear at the line (in good times) and sometimes he drops right away. He is somewhat a point and shoot merchant and I have a sneaky feeling should he get free on the lead he’ll be almost impossible to peg back – he’s either going to be an absolute superstar or a dud, and I couldn’t honestly say which, which makes it all the more exciting.

GRISPHOLM MASTER – 4yo Chestnut Colt
Noble Prince – Gripsholm Castle (Tastahil)
A strong striding sort but ground dependent. Will relish any ease in conditions and comes into his own when getting his testing conditions. I think he’s going to be a very good handicapper in the league, and could potentially make it into a low-level Group horse but it’s tough for an older horse to take on the young-uns at top level so we’ll have to see how he gets on.

HENRIK – 2yo Bay Colt
Captain Dunne – Historic Flight (Historic City)
One of the most impressive horses I’ve ever bred and is equally as good over 5f and 6f. He is an absolute machine on Good ground and dominates everything I have at York, goes well at Ascot and Newmarket but really is fierce on the knavesmire. I expect him to be picking up prizes throughout the season, he looks top class.

JARDINES LOOKOUT – 3yo Bay Colt
I Swear – Hawayil
A very smart front-running colt which has an immense liking for Longchamp, so we are thinking Prix Du Cadran with him at the moment. He isn’t quite good enough around Ascot or Doncaster so we’ll likely go the handicap route with him before heading to Longchamp for Arc week whereby he’ll be a serious force in the stayers’ showpiece.

JIMMY STYLES – 2yo Chestnut Filly
Historic City – Pike Harbour (Pike Bishop)
A 3 parts sister to Captain Dunne, she has trialled well but I’m not sure where my two-year-old fillies are at really as I trial them separate to my colts. She looks the part and goes well at Ascot especially, and ought to be competitive this season, quite whether she is top class remains to be seen but you’ve got to be in it to win it.

LOST HARBOUR – 3yo Bay Filly
Rockport Harbour – Pearl Power (Power)
Will be my 1000 Guineas horse and I have to be hopeful rather than confident she’ll be landing the spoils at Newmarket, she seems to be versatile in regards track and goes well on most grounds so she is worth taking a chance with in what should be a competitive area. Should make a few places along the way but quite whether she is up to winning at the top level remains to be seen.

MIDNIGHT PLANE – 4yo Bay Filly
Midnight City – Namibian Plane (Namibian Art)
A likeable daughter of Midnight City, she has done everything right so far in trials and will be plying her trade in handicaps with the Victoria Cup her main target. There should be races to be won with her as she trials well with horses younger than her which is always a good sign and goes well at most tracks which is a bonus.

MODERN ARCH – 3yo Bay Filly
Archbishop – Modena (Dick Turpin)
Lovely filly with plenty of class about her and she’ll be competitive in races from 10f-12f this season based on what her homework is showing me. She is another who goes really well at York, also at Ascot but isn’t great around Epsom so we might swerve there and head for the Ribblesdale instead.

MODERN HARBOUR – 3yo Bay Colt
Captains Harbour – Midday (Rip Van Winkle)
A horse I’ve bred at basically the eleventh hour, and was a chance trial I threw him into and I’m so glad I did. A soft ground specialist he is an absolute machine on soft ground and blasts all my sprinters into the ground over that distance at Ascot, so if we get any rain this season beware, he’s coming for you – we like him a lot but he is ground dependent.

NAMIBIAN PLANE – 3yo Chestnut Filly
Namibian Art – Melbourne Jet (Melbourne Harbour)
A smart filly with plenty of size about her, she will be plying her trade over seven furlongs this season and has enough about her to suggest she’ll pick up a prize or two. Goes well at Ascot and Newmarket and I expect her to do well, versatile regarding ground.

NAMIBIAN SUMMER – 2yo Bay Filly
Namibian Art – Days Of Summer (Great Sensei)
A last minute trial session saw this one get in the yard instead of Gripsholm Native. It was a tough one but she seems to do very well over 6F and given I’ve already got a 5F filly in Jimmy Styles this looked the best move to bring this filly in for the slightly further distances. If she runs how she has been running just in my kit, then she’ll be winning races against her own sex.

NOBLE PRINCE – 3yo Chestnut Colt
Tastahil – Juniper Girl (Dragon Flyer)
The best stayer I have in the yard but he needs a true pace which I’m unsure he’ll get in the league really. Should he get a true test then he’ll win the Ascot Gold Cup as nothing can touch him at home over that distance. It’s all about tactics though in the league over that sort of trip so it all remains to be seen if he’ll act on the big stage – I really hope he does though, he’s a class act.

NOUSHKEY – 5yo Black Mare
Dick Turpin – Colombian Cut (Rip Van Winkle)
A game and workmanlike mare, she will be running over 9F this season as she doesn’t quite get home over ten furlongs. She should be competitive over that distance and looks a handicap prospect at the moment with a view to branching into the lower echelons of group class as we progress through the season.

POWER – 3yo Bay Colt
Red Gala – Quenched (Evening Note)
A smart and tenacious colt, he is my 2000 Guineas horse and he goes really well at Newmarket, Ascot and the Curragh. He is slightly ground dependent in that he likes it good, although can go on the quick side – I’m not sure where he’ll be in regards others but I hope he is good enough to pitch it at the top level.

PRINCESS RAJWAHEE – 2yo Bay Filly
Rajwa – Princess Akihito (Emperor Akihito)
I haven’t done much work on this area and she is about the best I have of my fillies. Will be aimed at the May Hill Stakes and Fillies Mile but I’m thinking she may be the best of a bad bunch so wouldn’t be too confident over her chances in the league really – she could surprise me though, she was awful at three however.

REGAL FORM – 3yo Bay Filly
Henrik – Regal Arch (Archbishop)
A horse I’m very excited about running this season, she is bred for 9F but is an absolute machine over 10F in that in 9 of my trials over various tracks and conditions she won them all – that is some achievement. She has a lovely attitude and a willingness to run all the way to the line and she’ll be campaigned in all the top level group races this season, she could return at four also.

REGAL THEORY – 2yo Bay Colt
Henrik – Regal Writer (Dick Turpin)
A smart colt which didn’t make the cut at three, he seems to trial very well over 9F in the league and looks like being a smart handicapper/low end group horse. He doesn’t quite see out the 10f trip and neither does he get going quick enough over a mile so he’s very much limited to once distance – could win races though.

SAMURAI GUARD – 3yo Bay Colt
Great Sensei – Gala Pearl (Red Gala)
Likes it rattling quick and will be used as a handicapper in the league, with a view to targeting the Wokingham Handicap with him at Royal Ascot. He is a smart sort who should pay his way this season but would have some work to do, to trouble my best – might win one or two this year but no star.

SCORPION ROCK – 3yo Bay Colt
Scorpion – Gripsholm Planner (Gripsholm Prince)
This colt is seriously good, and like an idiot I retired him at the end of his three-year-old campaign thinking he was rubbish (wrong!). I’ve lost him for good and he puts in an unbelievable turn of foot over 12F (stiff tracks) but is more effective over 13F in all truth. I’ve pencilled in a listed race at Doncaster for this fellow after Week 1, and we’ll then go there and if he does well in that we could well pitch up at the Irish Derby.

STAR DRUMMER – 3yo Chestnut Colt
Starspangledbanner – Marching Drummer (Frederick Engels)
Looks about the best of a bad bunch really in all honesty, and needs rattling quick ground to be seen at his very best. Will be kept to 7f’s this season and should win a handicap or two, or possibly a low end group race if everything drops right for him.

STARS AND CLOUDS – 3yo Chestnut Filly
Starspangledbanner – Marching Cloud (Cloud Guard)
A very nice filly from the family of Samurai Guard, and she looks about my best 6f horse (other than on soft). I like her a lot and she loves decent ground around Ascot, even Newmarket and I expect her to be getting competitive in Group 1 races this season.

TASTAHIL – 3yo Bay Colt
Dabbing – Hawayil
A half brother to Jardines Lookout but not nearly as potent as him at Longchamp, this horse has a preference for Ascot but also goes well at Doncaster. Seems more tactically versatile regarding pace than Noble Prince so we’ll have to see which one we send to Ascot for the Gold Cup – a nice prospect though and should win races.

ZAHOO – 5yo Bay Mare
Archbishop – Noushkey (Dick Turpin)
An excellent mare who will be competitive over 10f this season. She wouldn’t be too far off Regal Form really, and I have high aspirations for this filly winning a Group 1 before the season it out.

Thanks Steve.

Hopefully the small snippets I've written will help with any potential quotes needed for the Newsletter you will be compiling. I don't envy your job of doing that and the handicapping position, so hats off to you.

If you require any assistance with an article or two then I should be able to chip in.

ImageBATH SPA SPRINGS Image

Bad Band
Prohibit - The Kills (Killerby Club)
A speedy filly out of a multiple G1 winning 5f horse and an average 9f horse. A terrible name as I expected her to be awful but she is really quite good. The stable doesn't particularly excel with sprinters but could this filly change that?

Cayenne
Al Tamah - Fireblood (Alauda)
A January foal of my best 5f horse, don't think he is going to be top quality but unfortunately I don't export my 2yos til the end of the year when they tend to have more stamina. Likes dirt though so worth an e/w on the all weather early doors.

Dogue De Bordeaux
Prohibit - Mysteria (Black Swan)
A front running seven furlong horse who will run right to the line. I'm hoping he gets afforded an easy lead otherwise he might set it up for others.

Duke of Florence

Magic - Sydney to Dubai (Al Tamah)
The first of Magic's offspring I have mentioned. Magic is my Galileo, my Sadlers Well, my Northern Dancer. Al Tamah injects a lot of speed into the dam's line and he is my big Guineas hope. I don't think he is as good as others but I'd be thrilled with a place.

Griseus
Magic - Wonder of Wonders (Tertullian)
The filly equivalent of Duke of Florence. Not quite as good but consistent.

Karakachan
Prohibit - Eternal Rage (Advancing)
A 7f filly with a lightening turn of foot. His sire liked to race on the pace but his damsire was Zenyatta in colt form. Settled stone last and finished with an almight rattle. Another dirt type, will need luck in running and a solid pace.

Piercing
Magic - Helleborine (Hektikos)
Last foal of Helleborine who was a season 6 yearling injected with the class of a season 20 hero, Magic. Hektikos, her damsire, was a very good 1m4f gamebred. Only had one season of him in the breeding barn and Helleborine was the only decent offspring. She was a good mare though, 1m4f hero like Piercing.

Power
Semper Paratus - Taken (Central House)
I had a lot of good 1m6f horses in my exports when I exported her. She obliterated them all. Since then subsequent horses have got closer and indeed beaten her over some tracks but I love her name and her running style and will look to pick up some decent prizes with her. Her damsire runs as a 4yo.

Power of Love
Luanda - Power (Semper Paratus)
Power hadn't been spectacular in the breeding barn until I bred her with a decent miler. This 12f filly was the result and if the ground is good to firm she is a force to be reckoned with.

Sakhalin
Magic Miesque - Plebian (Vee Eight)
Odd breeding and as a 3yo she slightly disappointed but trials well amongst my limited 2yos. I think she might get 9f but opens up at a mile.

Snow Fairy

Magic - Taken (Central House)
Half sister to Power, a very strong 10f type on dirt and turf. Definitely group class.

Tulip
Magic - Red Dead Redemption (Remy Martin)
One of those annoying 1m3f types, very strong on dirt and will be my Derby horse. Might get outstayed at Epsom but if they go slow his turn of foot could see matters settled before his stamina is questioned.

Unleash Hell
Magic - Ryders Storm (Advancing)
Inbred. Advancing is Magic's sire. Maybe that's why he needed to be gelded... Very good older miler who acts on all ground. Ascot and Newmarket are particularly strong tracks for him but he doesn't like Newbury.

Vaiaku
Semper Paratus - Blue Bunting (Central House)
A monstrosity. All class. Only problem is that she likes a strong pace which isn't often found over the longer distances and on soft ground she isn't as effective.

Vita Nova
Mtoto - Griseus (Magic)
Very recently bred. Combines the class of a 17 G1 winning 10f horse with the speed of my 1000 Guineas contender. I think she could be pretty special over 9f. Tom Queally isn't allowed to ride her :lol:

Zoroark
Prohibit - Aspire (Tertullian)
Very quick, early maturing 2yo. Nothing in her pedigree has ever raced further than 7f. Will get a strong 6f and unusually for me, doesn't mind if it's on the softer side of good.

Nick Driver


Aneedaeveningoff
Aneeda (Gamebred)- Barely Evening
Out of top mare barely evening who is also in the stable, Aneeda 14 time Group winner, this horse is pretty useful from 12f-15f and probably one of the best at this distance I've ever had. Runs good times in the CK and finishes off races well, hoping to maybe look at the Ebor unless he shows up well and may have a go at the leger.

Apple A Day
Destroyer (Gamebred) - Crabapple
Not the greatest family line as sire and mare didn't do much, good breeding further back, but she has turned out to be possibly my best 2yo ever, beats last years group runner up Vodka with ease over 1m and canes anything I have by 5+ lengths over 1m1f-1m2f everytime, Hopefully my best chance of a group race and maybe looking at finishing it off with a crack at the Criterium De St Cloud.

Ayrton
Azaleo - Aldo Montoya (Alzabella)
Plenty of speed in the family but became a classy miler, good 2yo, the only problem is probably inconsistency but may be able to run a cracker here or there. Handicaps seem the best way to go for Ayrton

Barely Evening
Bearly Cooking (Gamebred) - Evening Dawn
A wondermare who didn't look much at all on breeding but has foaled some greats as a top broodmare and is very useful herself, has been there since the start and has never been topped despite the 50+ Oaks winning Fillies that I have produced, Loves Epsom and is rarely beaten there in CK even by the colts and I would love to have a crack at the Oaks
but I don't think she will be good enough compared to some of the monsters in the league and she trials at about 2 secs outside the times posted but there is always hope.

Big Brown
Agilete (Gamebred) - Beans
One of the first horses I ever produced in this new game, out of 24 time G1 winner beans who I wish I could have got more use out of, despite this Big Brown is big and bad and loves pounding opposition into the ground over 1m4f, will be my main 4yo+ middle distance horse. Is beaten by the better 3yo's of mine which is worrying for the chances of Big Brown but handicap level is the way forward.

Boeing
Baltic - Ready For Takeoff (Habibti)
One of the only horses from the new game/crop and has given me hope at a distance I normally miserably fail at, comfortably beats anything I have over 7f and hopefully there will be plenty of handicaps for this speedily bred animal.

Casualty
Alternate Room - Diagnosis (Motel Room)
I would say that I have had worse sprinters winning decent races in the league so I do have hope, be it small for Casualty. Not necesarilly well bred apart from the grandsire on the mare's side who was unbelievable, but this horse really finds it's feet in the CK, always finishes races of so strongly even when upped to 7f and could harbour hope for a
division that I have struggled with in the past. Aiming at a big sprint handicap, would love to win a wokingham/stewards/ayr gold cup type of race!!

Chiffre Le Destruval
La Chiffre - Destroy My Evening (Lahinch)
Stoutly bred animal from the same line as Big Brown and Barely Evening, Beans and Lahinch who were 20+ group 1 animals also give a great history behind this horse, also a very good 2yo but just pipped out by Apple A Day so thought it could strengthen up a division I have really struggled with in the league (1m1/1m2) better than Music Bo, who I had really high hopes for last year but didn't do the buisness but hoping for a handicap to be there for the taking for the Chiffre

Despicable Me
Indian Dreamer (Gamebred) - Cheer Me
Averagely bred horse who is really only here because of my lack of 2 milers, just couldn't find the right breeding line until late on and still couldn't get any decent 2 milers not much to say apart from it is a very average animal who posts slow times but is the best of a bad bunch, would be extremely pleased if picking up a race.

Disso
Dissertation - Assignment (Dargin)
Another averagely bred animal who turned out quite well, was a toss up as to whether to go over the flat or jumps but due to my lack of 4yo+ horses on the flat we are going down that route, despite that is a hardy animal over 10 furlongs and I'm hoping for a bold show in the small handicaps.

Duel Of The Fates
Jomus (Gamebred) - Duelling Banjos
Again the same situation as Despicable Me, averagely bred but couldn't find the right line until it was too late, despite that she does get to within 10 lengths of last years League Gold cup winner Johnny Corleone so there might be a race in her yet!

Eternal Cup
Another Idea - Ninjie Chop (Daintree Affair)
A pretty well bred horse who won plenty in game but didn't impress so much in CK, again the best of a bad bunch at this distance so will be going handicap hunting.


Etre Deux Sivola
Eternal Cup - Choparilla (Another Idea)
Sire and Mare both in the league on flat and jumps side so could say she was well bred, in the same fashion as her sire it was quality in game but average in CK, despite this I've had much worse over this distance and there may be a small handicap in there for her.

Fire Power
Motu (Gamebred) - Notorious Tiger
Now this is the big hope, Sire was a bit special in CK but Fire Power took it to another level, winning the Queens Vase by 8 lengths on debut in game before smashing the melbourne cup as a 3yo, he looked a bit special, until he was placed in the CK and gave a new meaning to staying with pace, as a 3yo could get to within 5 length of johnny over 2m4, 2 furlongs out of his distance. Actually creams anything I have bar sire motu who he beats but not by far, if he is not a major player in the Donny cup, I will not be happy!

Frizzarilla
Frizzante (Gamebred) - Choparilla
Bred out of French raider Frizzante and bred well, in turn became a great game horse before going on to be the best 3yo classic distance horse to grace my CK, loves Ascot and could impress, despite that I've never had anything good come of my classic horses in the league but he will be aimed at a big handicap race such as the King George V handicap
at Ascot.

Geomorph
Geonosis - Battlestations (Feneel)
Has a quality breeding line with the speed of the sire's family and the stamina of the mare's family provide the best miler to come through Redhill lodge, a very useful animal who finishes of races very strongly and is tough to pass at home, will be competing in mostly the heritage handicaps and hopefully try and pick up some nice prizes!

Geonosis
Feneel - Diagnosis (Ace Of Hearts)
The sire of Geomorph is going to show up in the league one year younger that it's son!!! Saying that this miler was a top two year old over 6, but when placed in the ck Geonosis excels over the flying five, and beats the 5f 2yo's of last year who fared well so will be looking for Geonosis to be well up there and challenging for minor 2yo honours, maybe a
crack at the Ascot 2yo races.

Grand Prix Boss
Persiansea - Oaks (Baltic)
Named after the great Japanese horse, expecting to be good and he was, good speed line coming through the sire's family and stamina on the mare's side means this horse is here for it's versitality rather than it's quality, useful 2yo over mainly 6-7f but isn't the most consistent type!

Jaguar
Eternal Cup - Battlestations (Another Idea)
Another from the line of Another Idea who is a useful horse over 12f, was a tough decision as to whether to take over the flat or the jumps bu finally decided over the flat, plenty of stamina but will be looking at picking up small handicaps.

Motu
Gamebred
Taking on the trend of unearthing useful stayers who are gamebred, I have dug this gem from the doldrums of 1m selling races to become one of the greatest stayers I have ever seen, not as good as the 2 greats that have come through the stable in the past but will certainly be challenging over 2m2f races and the Donny cup is the big aim, or a cesarewitch. Shame he never really performed in the breeding barn until the unearthing of Fire Power who is a real superstar.

Red Speed
Speeding Demon - On Red Alert (Handful)
Speedily bred individual who wasn't the greatest horse in game but really shone in the CK, normally lack in 4yo+ sprinters and never been able to find a real class sprinting line. Will be aimed at the handicaps and might suprise a few.

Rush Of Blood
Ayrush - Devon Warfare (Ayrton)
Another good 2yo bred from the line of Azaleo, fast finishing, strong type who is very solid over 6f, probably the best 2yo I have over this distance but like a lot of my 2yo's isn't as consistent as I'd like her to be.

Speeding Demon
Handful (Gamebred)- Speeding Ticket
Bred from a useful sprinting gamebred to another of my sprinters, this horse is a very useful sprinter and is very suited to the quickly ran race over 5f, runs very good times (58 dead at Ascot) which while not looking good enough to take a big race, may be enough to take some of the handicaps on offer.

Speeding Ticket
Feneel - Aldo Montoya (Ace Of Hearts)
The Ace Of Hearts line from Dubai seems pretty useful and has sired and grandsired a lot of my league runners but speeding ticket won't be one of the better ones I'm afraid to say, despite being a useful and solid 2yo is no match for relative Geonosis but will be looking to get some handicap money under the belt.

Toxicity
Death Watch - Modern Warfare (Private Party)
Not the greatest of breeding but has turned out to be a very useful horse over 1m1f, very good type with a lot of stamina which may allow her to get 1m2f as well. Despite that
is not the most consistent of types and will throw in a few stinkers but may suprise some.

Vitriol
Ace of Hearts (Gamebred) - Altrevate
Another top class horse from the Ace Of Hearts line, one of the first to grace Redhill lodge and has been a loyal servant over 7f, was very good in the game and became a solid yardstick in the yard in the CK, being such a solid yardstick he is in there to grace the 7f handicapping division and hopes are high for him to repay some of the loyalty.

Vixity
Vittiol - Toxicity (Vitriol)
Another from the Ace Of Hearts line who is a very useful horse over 5-7f, one of the most versatile horses I have probably ever seen, can demolish anything I have over 5/6 and 7f but is a bit of a rogue and can sometimes play up, will be battling for some of the 2yo prizes

STABLE STAR - FIRE POWER
DARK HORSE - ANEEDAEVENINGOFF

Pontypool Racing

Flat

ATOMIC ( 2y0 Filly) -Stans Pride/Debbie Harry

108 Rated won royal lodge and racing post name after mums band blondie's great hit. sire stans pride was a great star in my stable and hoping she could pick up something.

CHILL FREEZE (2y0Filly) - Barbouche v/speedster

105 Rated won both starts at 6f a maiden and condition race although breed to get at least a mile will stick with sprints for the league.

CREAM CRACKER (2y0 Filly) - Montecito/Milk Heart --Accidental

115 Rated won first two races easily taking the national stakes over 7fur got beat in the breeders fillies juvenile over a mile still not sure if the tactics are right but the league is up and running.

SIMON LE BON (2y0 FILLY) - Pulse/Duran Duran -Barbouche v

109 Rated Won 4 out of 5 taking the breeders mile beaten by atomic in the royal lodge.

STANS PRIDE (5Y0 STALLION)-- Acantenango/milansie

Top horse in my game and used in the breeding barn gets 1mile 4f and hopeful he can win a online race somewhere.

THE CURE (4y0) -Trombone Tom/Celebrate

Good horse around 1m 2f from trombone tom whose taking the jumpers on.

JUMPERS

COME ALONG WAY (4Y0) Najeebon/Sons and fascination-Acantenango
Looked a good chaser but disappointed in his first ran in the league but the ground didn't help so still hopeful when the good ground appears.


FORGIVE N FORGET (4y0) - New Currency/Chiltern Bucks

suprised me when winning the irish st leger after winning two bumpers from two rans gets 2miles on the flat only ran once over hurdles when third in the stayers at the festival on the wrong tactics so hoping hes alot better than shown so far named after one of my favourite chasers.

STANS HIDEAWAY (4y0) - Stans Pride/Aplpine Hideaway- Acantenango

Not has good has dad on the level but is a better jumper than dad winning the champion hurdler and looks like my best chance for a winner will make his debut this week.

TROMBONE TOM (7y0) Gamebred

Great all rounder Flat/hurdler but a dodgy chaser all my main stock comes from his loins hgoping he could get a weak chase somewhere.
This is my first venture in the online league i think i may be years behind the rest of the trainers in breeding so will struggle but i up for the fight.

Grayham.
